PROGRAMMING YOUR PULSE GENERATOR
KEY PROGRAMMING COMMANDS
The “Programming Manual for -B Instruments” describes in detail how to connect the
pulse generator to your computer, and the programming commands themselves. A
large number of commands are available; however, normally you will only need a few of
these. Here is a basic sample sequence of commands that might be sent to the
instrument after power-up:
*rst
(resets the instrument)
trigger:source internal
(selects internal triggering)
frequency 1000 Hz
(sets the frequency to 1000 Hz)
pulse:width 5 us
(sets the pulse width to 5 us)
pulse:delay 2 us
(sets the delay to 2 us)
volt 240
(sets the amplitude to 240 V)
output on
(turns on the output)
measure:amplitude?
(this returns the peak current, in amperes,
as measured by the monitor circuit)
For triggering a single event, this sequence would be more appropriate:
*rst
(resets the instrument)
trigger:source hold
(turns off all triggering)
pulse:width 5 us
(sets the pulse width to 5 us)
pulse:delay 2 us
(sets the delay to 2 us)
output on
(turns on the output)
volt 240
(sets the amplitude to 240 V)
trigger:source immediate (generates a single non-repetitive trigger event)
trigger:source hold
(turns off all triggering)
measure:amplitude?
(this returns the peak current, in amperes,
as measured by the monitor circuit)
output off
(turns off the output)
To set the instrument to trigger from an external TTL signal applied to the rear-panel
TRIG connector, use:
*rst
(resets the instrument)
trigger:source external
(selects internal triggering)
pulse:width 5 us
(sets the pulse width to 5 us)
pulse:delay 2 us
(sets the delay to 2 us)
volt 240
(sets the amplitude to 240 V)
output on
(turns on the output)
measure:amplitude?
(this returns the peak current, in amperes,
as measured by the monitor circuit)
